This is just one factory that we know of. Imagine the number of secret and underground facilities producing missiles. And we haven't even gotten into shell, bomb and drone production. Let alone all the millions of bombs and shells in storage since Mao's time.

And this is all during peacetime. Imagine a full scale war where hundreds of millions of patriotic Chinese mobilize for the war effort.
